CWR Electronics added DigitalYacht to its line of products.

DigitalYacht provides solutions for both power and sail with applications ranging from 30-foot boats to superyachts. Their AIS solutions allow even small boats to receive AIS transmissions for charting and navigation.

CWR is a full-service distributor of marine, outdoor and consumer recreational products.

Thermoboat Ltd. of Sidney, British Columbia, was chosen as the North American importer of StressFree Anchor Winches.

Made in Australia, StressFree Anchor Winches offer anchor rode handling products for vessels from 16 to 38 feet and are suited for power- and sailboat applications.

Thermoboat will be responsible for OEM and distribution sales throughout Canada and the United States.

"This is a terrific anchor-handling solution for the small- to medium-size recreational boat," said Hugh Carroll, president of Thermoboat, in a statement. "This will benefit anyone who needs to weigh or set an anchor quickly and efficiently without ever needing to touch the anchor line. Fishermen will find they spend less time anchoring and more time fishing with this product and shorthanded sailors can lower or raise the anchor without ever leaving the helm."

"We're excited about distributing WeatherMax," IIS president Mark Shymansky said in a statement. "The possibilities of this product are endless and we feel that it will play a major role in our line of advanced fabrics."

IIS has distribution centers in Boynton Beach, Fla., and Dallas.
